Objective: IWBAT explain different opinions of immigration and analyze how media presents biased views.

Relevance: It is important to understand how the media may try to shape our opinion on any topic, including immigration, so that we are able to critically think about the messages we receive, and be independent when forming our own opinions.

DOL: Given an exit card with a biased view on immigration (with at least 80% accuracy) SWBAT Identify the bias and justify how they know this; Predict, what would the other side argue about SB 1070?

Review: Media Bias

What is media bias? What does the media do to influence our

thoughts?

Ignoring: negative traits/actions of a candidate they prefer positive traits/actions of the candidate they don’t like

Focusing on: Negative traits/actions of the candidate they don’t like Positive traits/actions of the candidate they prefer

How the media shows bias: Flattering or unflattering pictures, facts, tone,

opinionated “expert” guest speakers, emotion, etc.

Perspectives of immigration

Support legal immigration.  Support amnesty for those

who enter the U.S. illegally (undocumented immigrants). 

Believe that undocumented imm. have same rights of citizens-- (all educational and health benefits that citizens receive financial aid, welfare, social security and medicaid), regardless of legal status.

Support legal immigration only. 

Oppose amnesty for those who enter the U.S. illegally (illegal immigrants). 

Those who enter the U.S. illegally do not have the same rights

The borders should be secured

Washington Post Editorial

The Post’s View: Arizona’s bad immigration law takes effectBy Editorial Board, Published: September 20, 2012 AFTER A TWO-YEAR struggle, a federal judge this week authorized Arizona law enforcement agencies to require officers to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect is in the country illegally. Wearing the wrong clothes, speaking with the wrong accent or having the wrong skin color could land you in hot water in Arizona.The state’s “show me your papers” provision — one of the most bitterly contested parts of the obnoxious immigration law enacted in 2010 — is the second such measure to receive a green light from federal courts. The first was from Alabama, where a similar policy was implemented about a year ago.There, according to a recent report by the National Immigration Law Center, an immigrant advocacy group, law enforcement officers have created an “environment of racial profiling” that has encouraged private citizens to discriminate and abuse people they regard as foreign. The report, based on thousands of calls to a hotline, recounted instances of Hispanics, including legal residents, who were repeatedly stopped by police on flimsy pretexts and, in some cases, subjected to prolonged roadside detentions.Provide examples of this article showing a particular bias.

Say No To Amnesty“Comprehensive immigration reform” is a euphemism for amnesty. As such, reform will impose significant costs on the country. The primary effect of immigration amnesties in both the U.S. and Europe has been to attract more illegal immigration. An amnesty signals to potential border-crossers that if they can just get into the country illegally, they will eventually be given legal status. Illegal entries in the U.S. rose after the Immigration Reform & Control Act of 1986 went into effect and have increased fivefold from the 1980s to today.

The vast majority of illegal aliens who have entered the U.S. since 1986 have been low-skilled, low-educated Mexicans and Central Americans; those groups will also make up the bulk of illegal immigrants most attracted by the current proposed amnesty. Mexicans, Salvadorans, Guatemalans and Hondurans made up 74% of the illegal population last year, says the Department of Homeland Security.
